✨ What is Red Bread?

Red Bread is a social justice–driven, organic kitchen based in Los Angeles. We offer handcrafted, farm-to-table baked goods made with ingredients from sustainable California farms. Our mission is simple: make nourishing food that’s rooted in care, pleasure, and purpose. We believe food is medicine—and it should be delicious. Red Bread also produces food media and teaches food empowerment classes across California. 15% of every sale supports hunger relief and culinary education for underserved communities.

Our motto: Local whole grains. Not too sweet. Fruit and flowers forever.

🌾 Why Whole Grains?

We bake exclusively with stone-ground whole grains from small California mills like Grist & Toll and the Tehachapi Grain Project. Our flours change seasonally and include ancient, heirloom, and landrace varieties chosen for both flavor and nutrition. Whole grains support better health, richer flavor, and more sustainable, diversified agriculture.

Want to learn more? My cookbook Bread and Roses (October 2023) celebrates whole grains, botanical baking, and seasonal eating.

🌸 Why Fresh Botanicals?

We use whole plants—root to blossom—to build flavor and decorate our food. All botanicals are organic and edible, sourced from the Santa Monica Farmers Market or our own garden. Every plant is researched for safety (even if not intended to be eaten outright). Because beauty is nourishing too.

🥖 How We Bake

We use only the highest quality, organic ingredients and produce from beloved California farms like J.J. Lone Daughter, McGrath, Schaner, Windrose, Tamai, Murray, Mike & Sons, Milliken, Mendoza, Coleman, Weiser, The Garden Of, Smith Farms, Garcia Family Farms, and Mud Creek Ranch. Every item is made from scratch, baked to order, and driven by what’s fresh at the Santa Monica Farmers Market. We may make last-minute substitutions to ensure each order is at its seasonal best.

Our pastries are rustic, nutrient-dense, and made with love—from wild yeast to whole fruit to the flour beneath your fingertips.
